8.5.6 ADAPTIVE
Instructs the digitiser to transmit current blocks to clients if possible,
but to store all unacknowledged blocks in the Flash memory and
re-send them, oldest first, when time allows. ADAPTIVE mode is best
suited for “real-time” installations where the link between digitiser
and client is intermittent or difficult of access.
If the communications link is only marginally faster than the data rate,
it will usually be busy transmitting real-time data. Thus, it may take a
while for the instrument to work through the missed blocks. In this
case, and if your client supports it, you may prefer to use the Block
Recovery Protocol to request missed blocks where possible.
Some software packages (most commonly Earthworm) cannot handle
blocks being received out of time order. If you are using such a
package, ADAPTIVE mode will not work, and may crash the software.
